Kim Carnes (born July 20, 1945 in Los Angeles, California) is an American singer-songwriter. She is noted for her distinctive, raspy voice which she attributes to many hours spent singing in smoky bars and clubs. Carnes was a member of New Christy Minstrels from 1966 until 1970. Kenny Rogers was also a member, and during this time Carnes met and married Dave Ellingson, with whom she would write most of her songs. For a short while in the early 1970s, she and Ellingson formed the folk duo Kim and Dave, which was not successful.

You Make My Heart Beat Faster Lyrics
Kim Carnes
Kim Carnes/Dave Ellingson/Martin Page/Brian Fairweather)
A combination makes the spark
We fuel the fire then watch it grow
A stimulation to the heart
I lose my head
Out of control
Pulling me over, running me through
I'd be right there in a beat (beat) boy
I'd do anything to be with you
I lose my breath
Out of control
You make my heart beat faster
And that's all that matters
You make my heart beat faster
And that's all that matters
You make my heart beat faster
And that's all that matters
You make my heart beat faster
And that's all that matters
Imagination turn the key
Snap the shot
It's in my head
Anticipation grabbing me
I lose my breath
Out of control
A combination makes the spark
We fuel the fire then watch it grow
A stimulation to the heart
I lose my head
Out of control
